and I feel lucky to spend 11 years from my life with her, I remember of so many lovely moments!. I'm happy we loved each other so much that my first word was her name. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1905. My great-grandparents with their children Cabinet card Photographer: Ede Schmidt, Budapest, VIII. Baross u. 61. Taken on 5th November, 1905. Wearing mourning dresses, my grandmother is on the right as a little girl. Great-grandma had seven children. A baby died around his first birthday. The girl standing on the left also died as a little child. Two years later a son was born. So she had five living children, three girls and two boys. We found this photo in a very bad condition in mum's cellar under a thick layer dust and mildew, sticked together with other photos. My husband restored it very patiently. They are mourning here the baby who died. Great-grandfather: András Friesz (de Fries), Budapest, 1872. 02. 13. - Budapest, 1938. 05. 08. Their German-French Baron family came to Hungary in the 18th century. Great-grandmother: Maria Hartmann, Budapest, 1877. 10. 12. - Budapest, 1963. They married on 23. 02. 1897.

Anyai nagyanyám szüleivel, testvéreivel gyászruhában. Schmidt Ede műterme Budapest, VIII. Baross u. 61. Dédanyám hét gyermeket hozott a világra, öt (3 lány, 2 fiú) életben maradt. Egy baba meghalt egyéves kora körül, a képen bal oldalt látható kislány nem sokkal a fotózás után meghalt. Két évre rá született még egy fiú. Itt mindannyian gyászruhában vannak a baba miatt. Dédapám, Friesz (máshol de Fries) András, (Budapest, 1872. 02. 13. -Budapest, 1938. 05. 08., apja Friesz (de Fries) Károly, anyja Kraisz Gertrúd), francia-német bárói családból származik, a Fanciaországból jöttek Magyarországra a XVIII. században, véletlenül épp úgy, és akkor, mint férjem apai ősei, a Hamon-család. A vagyonukat aranyékszerben hozták el, ebből földbirtokokat vásároltak Magyarországon. Pl. Pesten Kőbánya mai területét, amit felparcelláztak később és egy részét eladták. Annyit tudok még, hogy pl. az ő telkükön épült fel 1844-ben az első magyar sörfőzde, a Dreher elődje.A századforduló idején a család már elpolgárosodott főleg a helybeli német polgárokkal házasodtak. A rokonság másik ága, amelyik eljött Franciaországból, egy német fejedelemségben telepedett le, a Gothai almanachban még megtalálható. home.foni.net/~adelsforschung/ggtbf.htm Amikor ez a fotó készült, még birtokosok voltak, földjeik, házaik és kávéházuk volt Pesten és Kőbányá, azonkívül taxivállalatuk. Később a gazdasági válság mindenüket elvitte, teljesen elszegényedtek, de talpon maradtak. Dédanyám ugyanolyan derűsen folytatta tovább az életét már özvegyen egy újpesti szoba-konyhában, soha nem volt egy panaszszava, nem siratta a múltat, derűs, kiegyensúlyozott, harmonikus ember maradt élete végéig. Dédanyám, Hartmann Mária Terézia, (Budapest, 1877. 10. 12. - Budapest, 1963.) tehetős német polgári család gyermeke volt. (Édesapja, Martin Hartmann, édesanyja Maria Polster: www.flickr.com/photos/37578663@N02/5064521865/ Dédszüleim Budapesten házasodtak össze 1897. február 23-án, itt is éltek.

The #1 movie on the American Film Institute's "Top 100" list is Citizen Kane. And how did Disney's live-action musical Newsies rate? It isn't even on the list, my friends. Well, I'm calling shenanigans on AFI and all 1500 of the film artists, critics, and historians who compile their lists because not only is Newsies a far superior depiction of the late 19th century/early 20th century newspaper industry and "yellow journalism" or whatever, but it's also just unmistakably better than Citizen Kane* in almost every imaginable way. Citizen Kane, ha! More like Citizen Lame! Citizen Kane is so old! Like, seriously. It isn't even in color. What the hell? Newsies, on the other hand, was filmed in 1992 and is in color and therefore, automatically, less boring for me to watch. In Citizen Kane, newspapers abound, but no one calls them "papes." Fact: calling newspapers "newspapers" or even "papers" is so dumb, calling newspapers "papes" is cool (and clearly more time efficient). In Citizen Kane, artsy or "clever" camera shots and angles are used to mask a lack of singing and dancing, ergo, the movie is tedious to the point of being a piece of crap. There isn't a single cast member from the 90s Nickelodeon variety show, Roundhouse, in Citizen Kane, whereas Newsies has four. (Here's another picture for those of you who aren't Newsies scholars/as eagle-eyed as I am/enthusiastic about finding Roundhouse cast members in movies.) Of course I understand that Roundhouse wasn't around in 1941, but that's no excuse, as far as I'm concerned. Bill Pullman is sexier than Orson Welles. Yes, Welles does have a certain Vincent D'Onofrio quality about him but he just doesn't do anything for me. Pullman, though...well, I guess I've always been into men who look like they could be a friend's dad. Newsies helped me pass my AP U.S. History exam, while Citizen Kane has yet to prove its usefulness. Not only did I pass, but I got a "4" (which is pretty good). Thanks to the statue that appears at the beginning of the movie, I was able to answer the Horace Greeley multiple-choice question correctly. Boo-yah! Citizen Kane misrepresents the power, or lack thereof, of pape headlines. And finally, Christian Bale is a better actor than Orson Welles. Yeah, I said it. At the very least, Bale is more committed to his craft than Welles. Do you think that Christian Bale knew how to dance before he stepped onto the set of Newsies? No, he didn't. But he broke it down anyway. In Citizen Kane, Orson Welles ages from the beginning of the movie to the end of it. This is accomplished through the use of makeup. But if Christian Bale were to play a character who started off as a young man and progressively got older over the course of the film, he would literally force his body to age 20 or 30 years. In summation, Newsies is rad, Citizen Kane sucks, and any of AFI's esteemed film experts who also happen to be members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can partially redeem themselves in my eyes by giving Christian Bale an Academy Award this Sunday. *I haven't necessarily or even actually seen Citizen Kane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Suddenly/I'm respectable/staring right at 'cha/ lousy with stature...Victory!/ front page story/ guts and glory/ I'm the king of New York!
